3x + 1 < 7...subtract 1 from both sides
3x < 7 - 1
3x < 6 ...divide both sides by 3
x < 6/3
x < 2
there will be an open circle on 2....because the problem has no equal sign...the line will be shaded to the left...because it is less then.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since y varies directly with x,
y = kx, where k is a real constant.
When x = 4, y = 32.
=> (32) = (4)k, k = 8.
Therefore when x = -2,
y = kx = (8)(-2) = -16.
Answer:
Addition property of equality.
Step-by-step explanation:
You are adding something to both sides of the equation.
